The requirement for pbs for MPI should go away once the SL4 gLite WMS is
widely-deployed. It comes from a limitation in the MPICH job type that
only supports certain jobmanagers. In the glite WMS (SL4) it is possible
to submit "Normal" jobs with multiple nodes which can be executed on any
job manager.
Please note that SAM tests are being run for sites advertising MPI: on the
LCG SAM portal display the test CE-sft-mpi for CEs in the dteam VO.
